Swimming, fishing, and kayaking draw campers to Sulphur Springs Camp, a private campground set along the river outside Bend, Texas, where water access is the main draw. The Colorado Bend corridor puts North Area — Colorado Bend State Park Campground within easy reach for additional hiking, and the road to the state park runs directly past the campground. Cell service drops out in the canyon. That disconnection is part of the appeal for many who return.
Sites are level, grassy, and shaded, with electric hookups available up front for RVs up to 50 feet. The back section, reached by a rougher road, is reserved for tent and car camping and requires a higher-clearance vehicle. Fishing cottages with full kitchens, provided linens, and cookware round out the lodging options. A spring-fed pool is cleaned weekly, and the natural sulphur spring gives the camp its name. The sulphur smell is present but mild, according to multiple visitors.
Wildlife sightings here are frequent and varied. Bald eagles, turtles, reptiles, and coyotes have all been noted by recent campers, and the river corridor supports good fishing. Barefoot Fishing Camp & RV Park sits to the north for anglers wanting another base option. Eric A. describes the camp as "nestled right on the river, with a natural Sulphur Spring," which captures the setting well. Firewood is available on-site, pets are welcome, and alcohol is permitted. Bring a kayak if water levels allow, and check road conditions before heading in with a low-clearance vehicle.
